Cambridge University Astronomical Survey Unit (CASU)
Cambridge University reaches for the stars with Kognitio WX2 and HP Flexible Computing Services |
|
"Gathering, classifying and cross-referencing very large quantities of data is a highly demanding process. Kognitio WX2 has added a new dimension to our data analysis by dramatically accelerating the process."
Jim Lewis, senior research associate, CASU
The Challenge
How does a leading research unit process and analyse gigabytes of data generated every night from the observation of space objects in a timely manner?
The Solution
CASU uses Kognitio WX2 and HP FCS which allows them to benefit from highly flexible yet affordable state-of-the-art data analytics software and on-demand computing power.
The ROI
Start-up and running costs have been kept to a minimum and performance has increased dramatically with operations that took days now only take minutes.
As such, more complex queries can be asked of the data and more discovery projects can be initiated.
